'64 Forward Control Production Numbers By Month

Dave Newell kindly provided me with a photocopy of a Chevrolet Central Office memo, sent to Zone Service Managers, titled "Last 1964 Model Serial Numbers Built Each Month - (Restricted Information)" and dated September 8, 1964. This document gives the final six digits of the VIN of the last Corvair forward control vehicle produced each month at the two locations. (The document includes numbers for all vehicles produced at the 17 Chevy plants. We're only concerned with FC stats here.)

Rampsides, in both locations, were built on the same line as Greenbriers and Corvans. (The unpopular Loadside was discontinued after 1962.) Therefore, there is no way to tell from the information below how many Rampsides were built each month or what their serial numbers were.

Flint, MI Production

Forward control Corvairs were produced in Flint only through the end of calendar year 1963.

St. Louis, MO Production

Corvair forward control vehicles were produced in St. Louis the entire model year, so obviously the last Rampside was produced in St. Louis!
